Rep. Raegan LaRochelle, D-Augusta, nominated Mary Jeanette (Jan) Michaud and her late husband Victor Michaud to be inducted into Maine's Franco-American Hall of Fame on Tuesday.
The Michauds created an oral video history of Franco-American workers in Augustas mills called "Manufacturing Augusta" and raised $20,000 towards preserving the history of the Franco-Americans who worked in the mills.
